Found this while doing some research on tonneau covers and read through your install post as the X4TS is one of the ones I've been looking at recently. Just wanted to thank you for an excellent, detailed write-up. The pics you provided are very helpful. Your truck looks really good----nice job.Installing my Christmas gift from my wife and kids! RealTruck’s BAK Revolver X4ts tonneau cover.
My Pros:
-Metal-backed, marine grade vinyl cover.
-Doesn’t occupy bed space like retractable options.
-Compact and lower profile when rolled up, opposed to trifold options.
-Flush, clean profile when closed.
-Easy, self-install for even for a junior grade wrench money like myself.
-Built in T-Slot Rails
My Cons:
-Little gaps in the corners can let some water in.
-Wouldn’t call it water tight, but for the most part I feel it will keep your gear dry.
They actually wrapped the whole box and stuck “under” the tree
Got all the parts needed and nothing damaged from shipment
Our Beds have ‘bend’ at the cab so I notched the weather stripping to accommodate it.
Uses existing OEM rails in truck bed.
Hardware to clamp to bed frame is black, which is a nice touch.
Passenger side rail installed.
Ready to unroll the cover. Inexplicably, the instructions were rolled up in this thing.
‘Rolled up against the cab in “Open” position. Durning install I rolled and unrolled the cover several times to get the best fit.
T-Rails have caps to give them a nice finished look.
All done!
BONUS! The cover doesn’t interfere with the port covers in the truck bed!
